As ] have arrived at years of
discretion, and haven't an unabridged
dictionary convenient, / will not at
tempt a description Of costumes. /
will say, however, that the dressing was
elegant, and it is seldom that 50 many
graceful dancers are seen on ballroom
floor The favors were beautiful and
costly, and were dispensed with the
greatest grace by Miss Marcias of
Washington and Mrs. Pechue OF Cleve-
land. / will not name the belle of the
Springs, but do not hesitate to name
the beau. That honor is accorded Mr..
Robert Richardson, of Richmond, who
excited the envy and jealousy of every
Young man here recently 10y kissing
departing belle and beauty farewell as
she left the porch to take the stage. In
formation of this audacious act was
communicated to me in the strictest
confidence by sixteen ladies and TIVE l.
ty-nine gentlemen fifteen minutes after
j arrived, and all were astonished to
learn that little bird had told me OF it
While l was on my way from Millboro'.
In passing let me say that Dear Uncle
Bob " is looking especially well.
KIRMFss.
A few days ago q kirmess was given
% aid in completing and supporting
the Episcopalchurch here. 1t realized
he neat sum Of S265, and was in charge
os Mrs. i. McGreen, assisted by Miss
Lizzie Nicholas and Mrs Ancrum.
Members of ali denominations showed
great interest In its success. Features
Of the occasion were minuette IN COS
tume--paint, powder, and wigs;
peasant dance, and TIE Highland Fling
by little Miss Hunter.
Many amusements are mapped out
for the ensuing week, including ger
mans and straw parties. Straw parties,
